Title: Non English character in title/keywords
Post by: PigsInSpace on July 08, 2024, 18:44
I have a photo showing a United States locale that is named using a non-standard English character. It has an ñ in the formal name. When writing keywords/titles, should I use a standard n or keep the tilde?

Dreamstime made me change it to a regular n, but I’m not sure how to best handle other sites to ensure it’s easily findable by buyers.

it'd be rejected by many agencies - one of most troublesome is café which autocorrect insists on adding the accent. i have to use something like caFe to bypass

Got to ask.. If you're searching Google, are you really typing "best local café"? I feel that people don't put accents into the search to save themselves the time, knowing Google knows what they want, same as stock searches.
